Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

"Great! That old bastard Deng Gang has shown up too. Let's slaughter Zhuang Jingwen first, then Deng Gang!"

Once it was confirmed that the retired head of the Public Security Bureau, Deng Gang, had arrived, all the Gray Zone leaders bristled with killing intent, the father and daughter Zhuang Jingwen and Deng Gang being the people they hated the most in their lives.

Now that all the anticipated parties had arrived, they were eager to take out Zhuang Jingwen and Deng Gang.

Ye Fan raised his eyebrows, "Old Deng is unmatched as a patriot, and whoever dares to disrespect Old Deng shall be killed without mercy!"

Feeling Ye Fan's surging killing intent, the many Gray Zone leaders were forced to swallow their anger.

Even at this moment, quite a few Gray Zone leaders were surreptitiously pulling out their phones to contact their subordinates.

"Old Deng, thank you for your hard work!" Zhuang Jingwen said gratefully.

In order to clear her name, Zhuang Jingwen had no choice but to invite Deng Gang over. What she hadn't expected was for Deng Gang to agree so readily.

Everyone in the Gray Zone harbored deep-seated hatred for Deng Gang. Many dreamed of killing him, and nobody expected Deng Gang to risk entering the Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den.

"Master Ye, you've really raised the stakes!"

Seeing that even Deng Gang had come, Xiang Tianba couldn't help but smile bitterly.

As someone who mixed with society, he knew all too well how much the Gray Zone people despised Deng Gang.

Facing the many Gray Zone leaders, Deng Gang coughed and said, "There's no need to panic, I've retired. Even if I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't have the means anymore!"

"Hmph, panic? You old fool, we're ecstatic. Do you realize you're a lamb walking into a tiger's den? Just wait to see how I'll torment you!" a Gray Zone leader said hatefully.

"Right, Deng Gang, do you remember how many times you messed with us back when you were in charge? What goes around, comes around. Now that you're in our hands, you're finished!"

Unmoved by their threats, Deng Gang said indifferently, "I didn't come here tonight to squabble with you. I'm here to clear Jingwen's name."

By now, Deng Gang had come to understand Zhuang Jingwen's background. Although he had no fondness for Zhuang Yan, the deceased Gray Zone leader and her father, he felt a twinge of pity for Zhuang Jingwen.

Zhuang Jingwen had never committed evil deeds, yet because of her father, she had been misunderstood and lived a life of hiding for a full decade.

Tonight, even at the cost of his own life, he would redeem Zhuang Jingwen's name.

"Clear her name? What innocence does she have?" the leaders scoffed.

Deng Gang spoke slowly, "Do you still remember the raid from ten years ago? Actually, the intelligence wasn't provided by the then-leader Zhuang Yan. In fact, during the raid that night, Zhuang Yan was shot six times and died early the next morning!"

"What? Boss Zhuang Yan didn't betray us?"

Deng Gang's words exploded like a thunderclap, stunning everyone present.

Deng Gang continued, "Yes! The intelligence wasn't provided by Zhuang Yan. On the contrary, Zhuang Yan was also a victim!"

"Old man, are you serious?" the crowd asked, visibly shaken.

In their eyes, it was Boss Zhuang Yan who had betrayed them ten years ago, seeking to ingratiate himself with the officials by selling them out.

Deng Gang said with a light smile, "Before I retired, I, Deng Gang, embodied integrity and unswerving righteousness; I've never told a lie in my life. Do I need to deceive you?"

"This..."

Seeing Deng Gang's earnest demeanor, the many Gray Zone leaders had stiff expressions; they looked at each other and saw disbelief in their eyes.

After all, they had believed for a full ten years that it was Boss Zhuang Yan who had sold them out. Deng Gang's sudden revelation that it wasn't Zhuang Yan was hard for them to accept at this moment.

"Old man, if it wasn't Boss Zhuang Yan who betrayed us, then who was it?" someone asked.

"Exactly, if not Boss Zhuang Yan, then who could it be?"

Under the relentless questioning of the crowd, Deng Gang smiled, "Haven't you noticed that someone is missing tonight?"

"Who's missing?"

```

Hearing this, a group of people scanned the scene.

"It's Han Teng, Han Teng hasn't shown up!"

Soon, someone noticed that one person was missing from the scene.

"What? Was it Han Teng who betrayed us?" Many of the gang leaders at the scene were shocked beyond belief.

Staring at the astonished crowd, Ye Fan then spoke, "Is it that surprising? That's right, the one who betrayed you is Han Teng!"

"How could the mole be Han Teng? Ten years ago at the meeting that night, Han Teng was there too!"

"That's right, not only did Han Teng attend, he also distributed a lot of money to us afterward!"

A group of Gray Zone leaders discussed among themselves, none willing to believe the truth.

"Fools!"

Seeing that the crowd was still in the dark, Ye Fan scoffed, "Tell me, what position did Han Teng hold in the gang back then?"

"Finance, Han Teng was in charge of gang finances!" someone answered directly.

Ye Fan continued to scoff, "Exactly! The finance manager. Let me ask you this, do any of you know how much money was in the gang?"

"This..."

Facing Ye Fan's questioning, everyone was stunned into silence.

Back then, Han Teng held the financial reins of the gang, and only Han Teng knew exactly how much money the gang had ten years ago; they had no idea.

"Moreover, besides your boss, Zhuang Yan, the only other person who would know your exact addresses in such detail, I'm afraid, would be Han Teng, right?" Ye Fan said with a sneer.

"This..."

The crowd was stunned once more, unable to refute his words.

Han Teng was the gang's financial manager back then. He knew every detail about all of them, but because Han Teng attended the meeting and later distributed money as agreed, they had never suspected him over the past ten years.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ye Fan sneered, "Little did you know, the one who sold you out was your finance manager, Han Teng!"

"Han Teng controlled the gang's finances. When your boss, Zhuang Yan, decided to wash his hands of the gang's dirty business, intending to distribute the gang's money among you, Han Teng, with his venomous heart, deliberately sold you out, providing information to Old Deng. Old Deng then struck you down one by one. After your deaths, all the gang's money would fall into his hands!"

"Although Han Teng did distribute quite a bit of money to you afterward, in comparison to the gang's total assets, it was merely a drop in the bucket! Otherwise, where do you think Han Teng got the capital to make his fortune?"

Ye Fan's words acted like an awakening, and everyone suddenly saw the light.

"Damn it! Could it be that we've misunderstood the boss and his family, and it was Han Teng who betrayed us?"

"After Master Ye's analysis, I feel it's very likely. The gang was very wealthy back then, and the amount Han Teng distributed to us afterward was nothing; he took off with the lion's share!"

"Exactly! Han Teng's company never seemed short on funds during its startup phase. He definitely used the gang's funds. Damn, we've all been played by Han Teng!"

Not a single fool remained at the scene. After Ye Fan finished speaking, their expressions changed drastically.

"This point can be confirmed by Old Deng, right, Old Deng?" Ye Fan asked.

Deng Gang nodded, "Indeed! After years of investigation, I can confirm that the intelligence was indeed provided by Han Teng!"

"F**k, it really was Han Teng!" All the Gray Zone leaders were infuriated.

They had all been fooled by Han Teng, and this ruse had gone on for a full ten years.

As the truth was about to come to light, Zhuang Jingwen couldn't control her emotions, her beautiful eyes misting over.

Being misunderstood for so long, the moment of revelation was unbearably painful for her.

To prove it was Han Teng who had sold them out, Ye Fan, with a fiery gaze, commanded, "Xiang Tianba, bring me that beast, Han Teng!"
